To all the blurple haters ! Week 5 of flower auto blueberry

Probably not about hate, it's about efficiency. yes, they can 'grow' a plant, but if you want yield, and in less time, then they are useless. That blurple light at 135 watts looks like it will net you maybe 14-20 grams on her..flowers will not explode with such light. Try using a 200 watt cree cob led, and she may net you 2-3 oz, and less veg time. They can grow the plant, but can't really flower it well, unless you have 3-4 in a 2x2.

You got your moneys worth, honestly it's what I'd expect off a cheap panel, I'm glad you got some buds off that panel,some arent that lucky, buy a optic one gen 3 at 155.00 it's a single cob @53w and it will blow that panel out of the water, again you get what you pay for. I wouldn't brag about it though the results arent on par compared to HID or better LED lights.

Not bad. You might want to lighten up on the nutes a bit. How many grow have you done.
It wouldn't hurt to add another of those blurples, actually more light would help considerably.
I have a nice large grow space, this is week 6 under CMH
Have fun

Week 5 12/12 under 600w hortilux super hps se.
@CODEE_420Grows if you lighten up on the nutes you will have much better results.
You have major nitrogen toxicity. I would run some fresh water through her.

Same her. No problem with burples at all, especially the higher end ones. So annoying.
And you know most of them have read the same thing over and over.
Turn on white lights for your pictures.

Flushing often will make things worse. Try to err on the side of light feeding and less watering but water to a good runoff and then wait until the pot is alarmingly light before watering again.
A little yellow is ok but too much nutes causes much damage.
Just give water a couple of times next. Then resume feeding half of what you were.

Thank you. She is grown from an old seed. She has been quite finicky. You can see the damaged lead tips.

I read on here once.
When a guy buys a blurple it's like a kid buying his first car. It won't be a nice car but the kid will use it to learn how to drive until he can get a better car.
That's the jist of it anyway. Don't remember who said it. I still veg under a couple cheap blurples... for now.

Is the bucket light after a day? What medium are you using? I have a hard time believing that 5gals dries in a day unless you live in a desert. The limp leaves is likely due to overwatering. They perk up temporarily because your watering introduces some O2 and then they drown when it's depleted.
